MICHAEL DAvIFT COMING OVER. He Has Served Nine Years in Prison and is Willing to Serve More When 1 He Returns to Ireland.
 QUEENSTOWN, Sept. 9 2-Michael Davitt ! before stepping on board the steamship | Britannic, which sailed to day from this port 1 for New York, granted an interview to 8 correspondent of the Associated Press, in the course of which he said: "The doctors have ordered an ocean journey to brace me up. My present visit to America is of a strictly private nature and do not propose to make any public appearances while in the United States. I want as much rest as I can possibly get. Upon my return to Ireland will have
 enough to face. The order for the suppress | sion of the Irish National league will neither intimidate it's members nor in the least de-
 gree set back the popular movement. It is simply impossible now to crush the move
 ment. That would mean to put in prison three-fourths of the people of Ireland. The immediate outlook is gloomy in the extreme. I look with anxiety upon the coming winter, believing that tine action of the government | will provoke disorder. If the people tamely
 submit to be deprived of the right of public meeting and freedom of speech they will show themselves to be un- worthy of home rule. We must fight; we
 must make sacrifices for the principle of self government. I have already served nine years in prison On returning to Ireland have good prospect of putting i'll more years i'll prison. 1 believe that every earnest Nationalist is ready to do the same. I never found people reader to make sacrifices for @ national cause. 1 never knew of any people
 in the world more resoute to carry on the
 fight. It would be infinitely more
 agreeable, if we were enabled to con-
 tinue the struggle in @ peaceful,
 constitutional manner But the Tory
 government will not let us. A policy of de-
 liberate evaporation has been determined
 upon by the Salisbury ministry. Upon them
 rests the responsibility for coming events.
 By far the worst feature of the present situa-
 tion is the government plan of resorting to
 the worst kind of coercion in the interest of
 the landlord. They admit that the present dual ownership ought to be abolished. Yet
 the movement of the Irish leaders to reform the land tenure is declared illegal and they
 themselves are denounced criminals"
